Surveillance Cameras Lead to Arrest of Robbery Suspect

On April 7, 2016, a felony charge was filed against 41 year-old Los Angeles resident Urbin Lee Miller for his involvement in a robbery in the City of Long Beach.

On March 2, 2016, an unsuspecting business owner was walking in the area of Pine Avenue and Third Street when the suspect approached him. The suspect grabbed the victim’s bag, taking his money, and fled the location on foot. Fortunately, the victim was not injured.

While detectives were investigating the robbery, they scoured the area for surveillance cameras. Detectives viewed a significant amount of video footage, which led them to the suspect.
